Further, the inner surface of the lid body of paper box is waterproof treated, and also the peripheral edge of this inner surface is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive part so as to keep, in a wet state, a part of a following paper pulled out after pulling out the uppermost one between the taking-out port and the lid body.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wet tissue package in which a laminate of wet tissues is housed in a container, and the wet tissues in the container can be taken out one by one from an outlet on an upper surface. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wet tissue is obtained by impregnating a base cloth such as paper or nonwoven cloth with a liquid (for example, a liquid in which alcohol, a disinfectant, a preservative, a fragrance, etc. are mixed in water) according to a purpose of use. It is. In addition, the wet tissue is stored as a product in an airtight plastic container or a film-shaped sealing bag in a state where many (for example, about 50 to 100) wet tissues are stacked.

By the way, in this type of wet tissue package, if a plastic container is used as a container for storing the wet tissue, the molding die is expensive and the cost is high. In addition to being bulky, undesired problems such as generation of high heat and generation of toxic gas during incineration occur. On the other hand, when a film-shaped enclosing bag is used as a wet tissue storage container, although it can be manufactured relatively inexpensively, it has a disadvantage that it has poor shape-retaining properties and its appearance is poor when used as it is. is there.

[0004] From such a background, in recent years, attention has been paid to use of a paper box as an exterior body of a wet tissue package. By the way, in this type of wet tissue package, since the wet tissue is impregnated with moisture, when a paper box is used for the outer package, a waterproof structure is applied to the paper box or a waterproof treatment is applied to the paper box itself. There is a need.

[0005] As a wet tissue package having a waterproof structure for such a paper box, for example, FIG.
The following is known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 6-1993).
No. 73). The known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 4 uses a paper box 50 as a main part of an exterior body, stores an enclosing bag containing a laminate 52 of wet tissues 51 in the paper box 50, and a tatami surface portion of the paper box 50. 4 is provided with a plastic mold 56 having a wet tissue outlet 55 formed thereon. The plastic mold member 56 has an upper mold member 57 and a lower mold member 58 which are fitted into and recessed from each other.
4 is sandwiched from above and below. In addition, the sealing bag 53
Is adhered to the lower surface of the lower mold member 58.

In the known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 4, the main body of the outer package is formed of a paper box 50, but the wet tissue laminate 52 is enclosed in a film-made enclosing bag 53. Further, since the wet tissue outlet 55 (the wet tissue 51a to be taken out comes into contact with the edge of the outlet 55) is formed of a plastic mold 56, the wet tissue 5
1 so that moisture impregnated in 1 does not come into contact with the paper box 50. In this known wet tissue package, when the empty exterior body is discarded, the plastic mold 56 is separated from the paper box 50 so that the mold 56 and the paper box 50 can be separated and collected. Has become.

However, in the known wet tissue package shown in FIG. 4, although the main body of the exterior body is formed of a paper box 50, a waterproof structure for the paper box 50 is provided.
The wet tissue laminate 52 is placed in an enclosing bag 5 made of film.
3. Since the package is stored in the paper box 50 in the state of being wrapped in 3, the enclosing bag 53 is required, and a device for storing the wet tissue laminate 52 in the enclosing bag 53 and a storing process thereof are required. Since the wet tissue outlet 55 is formed of a plastic mold 56, the mold 56 (and a mold molding die) is required, which increases the cost and increases the cost of separating and collecting the waste. 56
In addition, there is a problem that a troublesome operation of separating the paper material 50 and the paper box 50 is required.
However, there is a problem that when the incinerator 6 is incinerated, the calorific value is high (damaging the incinerator) and harmful gas is generated.

In order to avoid such problems, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-2548 discloses that an entire exterior body (container body and lid plate) for storing a wet tissue laminate is made of inexpensive paper. In addition, a wet tissue package of FIG. 3 has been proposed in which the wet tissue laminate is housed in a container as it is so as to sufficiently withstand use.

In this type of wet tissue package, the inner surface of the paper box itself is subjected to waterproof treatment (for example, aluminum foil is coated or a waterproof film is laminated), and the outer case is formed using only the paper box. When the wet tissue laminate is to be stored directly in the paper box, the inner surface of the paper box is waterproof, but the edge of the edge of the wet tissue outlet formed on the upper surface of the paper box has a waterproof function. Instead, the wet tissue coming out of the outlet comes into contact with the edge of the outlet, and the moisture of the wet tissue permeates into the paper material from the edge of the edge of the outlet. There is a problem that the vicinity of the rim of the take-out port becomes swelled (softened) in a relatively short time.

[0010] In the known wet tissue package shown in Fig. 3, the container is a waterproof paper box and is formed in a closed structure except for the outlet, and the entire end surface of the mouth of the outlet is attached to the container. A waterproof material is applied over the circumference, and a paper lid plate that opens and closes an outlet is provided on the upper surface of the container body. In addition, press molding of the concave part on the upper part of the container body,
A space is formed in which a part of the uppermost wet tissue in the container body is positioned in a state of being exposed above the outlet, and furthermore, the lid plate is closed, and the upper surface portion of the outer periphery of the concave portion in the closed state is formed. In addition, a device that is bonded in a close contact state has been proposed.

That is, in the wet tissue package shown in FIG. 3, the laminated body 28 of the wet tissue 27 is directly stored in the container 21 having shape retaining properties, and the wet tissue formed on the upper surface 22 of the container 21 is formed. The outlet 33 can be opened and closed by the lid plate 26. Container 2
1 is a cardboard formed into a rectangular box shape. The container body 21 includes an upper surface portion 22, a bottom surface portion 23, front and rear long side surfaces 24, 24, and left and right short side surfaces 25, 25.
And a cover plate 26 that covers the upper surface portion 22. Further, although the cover plate 26 has an area covering the entire surface of the upper surface portion 22, it may be formed smaller. Cover plate 2
A downwardly bent piece 43 is formed at the tip of 6. The bent piece 43 reinforces the distal end portion of the cover plate 26 so as not to bend, and serves as a finger hook when the cover plate 26 is opened. The folded piece 43 is simply adhered to the long side surface 24 after the wet tissue package is manufactured. The wet tissue laminate 28 is accommodated in the container 21 when the container material is formed in a box shape. The container body 21 is appropriately waterproofed. At a substantially central portion of the upper surface portion 22, a concave portion 31 is formed, and at a bottom surface 32 of the concave portion 31, an outlet 33 of the wet tissue 27 is formed. A waterproof material 35 is applied over the entire periphery of the edge 34 of the outlet. Immediately after manufacture, the outlet 33 is covered with a seal sheet 29.

[0012]

There is no particular difficulty in waterproofing the paper material itself, but it is extremely difficult to form a closed structure by forming it into a paper box.
That is, the aqueous liquid impregnated in the stored wet tissue is used for storing, transporting,
In order to be held in a paper box without volatilization during the entire period of use, it is necessary to assemble the carton itself in a substantially perfect airtight state, and simply assemble the carton for the purpose of giving shape retention due to appearance problems It requires box-making technology or equipment with a completely different function. In addition, it is essential for the closed paper box to waterproof the edge of the wet tissue outlet, but the edge of the outlet formed by cutting the paper material is not necessarily uniform, Normally, it is not always easy to apply a completely waterproof treatment because it has a layer structure. As described above, even if an attempt is made to form an exterior body using only an inexpensive paper box, the manufacturing cost is not generally inexpensive, and the airtightness is not perfect. Hard to say.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and in this type of wet tissue package, has the advantages that a paper box is inexpensive and has shape-retaining properties, and that the film-shaped enclosing bag has airtightness. Another object of the present invention is to provide a product which is inexpensive in terms of cost and has no problem in disposal.

[0014]

Means for Solving the Problems The wet tissue package of the present invention has the following means for solving the above problems.
It has the following configuration.

The present invention provides a container 1 having shape-retaining properties.
The laminate 8 of the wet tissues 7 sealed in the liquid-impermeable enclosing bag 3 is stored, and the wet tissues 7 can be taken out one by one from the wet tissue outlet 13 formed in the upper surface portion 11 of the enclosing bag 3. The container body 1 is a hinge part 1
8 is formed of a paper box having a cover plate 6 integrally formed with the container body, and the sealing bag 1 is taken into an opening 10 formed in the upper surface 2 of the container body 1 facing the cover plate 6. Exit 13
The upper surface portion 11 of the enclosing bag 3 is fixed to the back surface peripheral portion 12 of the opening 10 with a fixing portion 17 so that the portion 1 is located at least on the inner surface of the lid plate 6 facing the outlet 13.
4 and the inner peripheral edge 15 of the cover plate 6.
A wet tissue package characterized in that an adhesive portion 18 that can be repeatedly adhered is formed on a portion of the upper surface of the container body facing the opening peripheral portion 16 or on the opening peripheral portion 16. It is.

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The wet tissue laminate used in the present invention is formed by laminating a suitable number of rectangularly cut wet tissues of a predetermined area in a zigzag sequence. When the uppermost wet tissue is pulled out, the next wet tissue is drawn out continuously. In addition, the wet tissue is obtained by impregnating a liquid (for example, a liquid in which alcohol, a disinfectant, a preservative, a perfume, or the like is mixed with water) according to a purpose of use to a base cloth such as paper or nonwoven fabric. .

A method for manufacturing a wet tissue package in which a wet tissue laminate is sealed in a liquid-impermeable enclosing bag, and wet tissues can be taken out one by one from a wet tissue outlet formed on an upper surface of the enclosing bag. For example, the method for continuously manufacturing a cosmetic-enclosed bag described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-3722 can be applied as it is.

The paper box as the container body does not need to be waterproofed as a whole, but at least a portion of the inner surface of the lid plate facing the outlet is waterproofed. As a method of the waterproof treatment, a method of laminating a waterproof film such as an aluminum foil on the inner surface, or a method of coating or impregnating a paper material with a waterproof agent can be adopted. In addition, it is preferable that the waterproofing be performed before the waterproofing is performed. In the case of a paper box, printing can be directly performed on the outer surface thereof, and appropriate printing may be performed on the outer surface of the paper box before assembly.

The container body (paper box) is formed by assembling a single sheet of base paper cut into a predetermined shape into a box shape, but the bonding of the end joining portions of the respective surfaces of the paper box does not require sealing. ,
Since sufficient shape retention is sufficient, partial adhesion such as spot adhesion can be applied industrially simply, which is advantageous in cost.

The enclosing bag, in which the wet tissue laminate is enclosed, is stored inside the paper box when assembling it. At this time, the outlet formed on the upper surface of the enclosing bag is located in the opening on the upper surface of the paper box, and is used as it is as the wet tissue outlet on the upper surface of the container body. As the shape of the outlet, for example, a slot-like shape, an elliptical shape, a shape simply cut on a line, and the like can be adopted.
The outlet has a function of holding a part (projection part) of the wet tissue in the container. This outlet is usually kept closed by a seal sheet 9 until it is used by a consumer.

The upper surface of the enclosing bag is annularly fixed to the outer periphery of the back surface of the opening of the paper box. The fixing portion does not necessarily have to form a completely closed space, and the upper surface of the enclosing bag may be substantially in close contact with the back surface of the paper box. On the other hand, a portion that is a peripheral portion of the inner surface of the lid plate of the paper box and faces the peripheral portion of the opening on the upper surface of the container main body is formed with a repeatedly attachable and detachable adhesive portion in an annular shape. Note that the adhesive portion may be formed on the periphery of the opening on the upper surface of the container body. At this time, when the lid is closed, a substantially closed space is formed between the back surface of the lid plate and the upper surface of the enclosing bag, and the above-mentioned exposed portion of the wet tissue can be held without drying.

Since the space formed here can be made relatively large, there is little danger that the projection will come into contact with the end face of the opening of the paper box, and the end face does not need to be waterproofed. In order to further secure this space, the lid plate may be sized to cover the entire upper surface of the paper box. This lid plate is formed integrally with the container body via a hinge portion, but may be formed integrally with the material of the container body (paper box), or a necessary portion of another cardboard may be subjected to waterproof treatment to form a paper box material. May be attached. Although the vertical depth of the space formed here is not so large, since the enclosing bag is formed of a flexible film, it is not enough as a space for accommodating the projection portion of one wet tissue. is there. If necessary, a recess having a small depth may be formed in a part of the upper surface of the container body around the opening for the purpose of deepening the space. Such a recessed portion can be formed by press molding, and a paper material having a shape-retaining property in a molded portion after press molding is employed.

[0023]

According to the present invention, the advantage of a paper box that can impart shape retention without using a plastic molded product and has no problem when discarded, and the advantage of the sealing property of a film-like sealed bag can be realized at the same time, and the paper box itself is waterproof. Since there is no need to do this, the cost is low.

[0024]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown here.

In the wet tissue package of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a laminate 8 of wet tissues 7 sealed in a liquid-impermeable enclosing bag 3 is housed in a container 1 having shape-retaining properties. The container 1 and the encapsulating bag 3 are arranged such that the wet tissue outlet 13 formed on the upper surface 11 of the enclosing bag 3 is located within the opening 10 formed on the upper surface 2 of the container 1.
And the opening 13 can be opened and closed by the cover plate 6.

The container 1 is made of cardboard and is formed in a rectangular box shape. The container body 1 includes an upper surface portion 2, a bottom surface portion (not shown), front and rear side surfaces (long side surface portions) 4, 4, and left and right side surfaces (short side surface portions) 5, 5. And a cover plate 6 that covers the upper surface 2. The size of the box portion of the container 1 is, for example, such that the length of the long side 4 is 17 cm, the length of the short side 5 is 11 cm, and the height is about 5 cm. Although the cover plate 6 is formed to have a width of about 12 cm, the cover plate 6 may have an area covering the entire upper surface 2. Furthermore, a downward bent piece may be formed at the tip of the cover plate 6. The bent piece reinforces the tip of the cover plate 6 so as not to bend, and serves as a finger hook when the cover plate 6 is opened. Further, this bent piece may be simply adhered (point-like adhesive) to the long side surface 4 at the time of manufacturing the wet tissue package. It is needless to say that various dimensions of the container body 1 can be appropriately changed in design.

On the other hand, the laminated body 8 of the wet tissue 7 accommodated in the container
In the form sealed in the packing bag 3, a conventional one manufactured by a known technique as a refillable wet tissue package can be used as it is. Because it is covered, hygiene and airtightness are ensured. Therefore, compared to storing the wet tissue laminate directly in the paper box,
There is certainty in both technical and quality aspects.

The enclosing bag 3 is accommodated in the container body 1 when the container body material cut in advance into a developed state is formed into a box shape. An adhesive 17 is preliminarily applied in an annular shape to the back surface peripheral portion 12 of the opening 10 of the container body material, and the sealing bag 3 is positioned so that the outlet 13 of the sealing bag 3 and the seal sheet 9 are located in the opening 10. Are adhered. At this time, the encapsulating bag 3 may be housed after molding to an appropriate intermediate stage in advance. The seal sheet 9 is peeled off when used by the consumer.

It is not necessary to waterproof the paper box as a container 1 as a whole, but at least a portion of the inner surface of the cover plate 6 facing the outlet is waterproofed. This waterproof treatment may be performed in a flat base paper state or in a developed state.

The inner peripheral edge portion 15 of the lid plate 6 is used as a means for adhering to the upper surface portion 2 of the container body when the lid plate 6 is closed.
In addition, an adhesive 18 is applied to a portion of the upper surface of the container body facing the opening peripheral portion 16. The adhesive 18 can be repeatedly adhered. A small knob is formed at the tip of the cover plate 6.

Since the container 1 is made of cardboard,
Has shape retention. Then, when used by the consumer, the lid plate 6 is opened and the seal sheet 9 is peeled off, so that the uppermost wet tissue 7 can be pulled out from the outlet 13. When one uppermost wet tissue 7 is pulled out, a part of the subsequent wet tissue 7 (projection portion 7a) comes out from the outlet 13 and the container body 1
Inside the opening 10 and the upper surface 11 of the enclosing bag 3
It is held on the upper side, and when the next wet tissue is taken out, the wet tissue extension 7a can be pinched and pulled out. After use, when the cover plate 6 is closed, a substantially closed space is formed between the back surface of the cover plate 6 and the upper surface of the enclosing bag 3, and the above-described wet tissue protruding portion is dried. Can be maintained without Since the space formed here can be relatively wide, there is a small risk that the projecting portion comes into contact with the end face of the opening of the paper box, and the end face is not waterproofed, but can withstand sufficient use. is there.

When the container 1 is discarded after the internal wet tissue 7 has been used up, the container 1 is made of paper, so that the sorting operation is not required as in the case where a plastic material is attached, and the container 1 is not used. Can be discarded. At that time, because it is made of paper, crush it (make it compact)
Can be discarded. Further, when the container 1 is incinerated, it does not generate high heat unlike plastics, and does not damage the incinerator.
